eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: flaxseed meal

Egg whites reduce cholesterol, while flaxseed meal is a plant-based alternative.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes add nutrients, while frozen hash browns save prep time.

onions

🥗Healthier: leeks

💰Cheaper: shallots

Leeks provide a milder flavor, while shallots are often less expensive.

Slice the potatoes into a thickness that allows you to feel them when you bite into them.

Turn on the heat and cook the sliced potatoes in a pan without adding salt.

After the potatoes are cooked, add sliced onions to the pan with the potatoes.

Let the potatoes and onions cook until they are done, adjusting the heat if necessary to avoid burning.

In a separate bowl, prepare 5 eggs but do not beat them yet.

Let the potato and onion mixture rest for 2 minutes before combining with the eggs.

After resting, mix the cooked potatoes and onions with the eggs in the bowl.

Flip the tortilla in the pan after cooking one side until golden brown, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side until golden.

Once cooked, slide the tortilla onto a plate and slice it for serving.
